Sa Rima | 4-Bedroom Villa in Cala Bassa Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Cala Bassa attracts visitors seeking Mediterranean coastal living without the pretension—and Sa Rima delivers exactly that. This luxury villa rental in Cala Bassa accommodates eight guests across four distinctly configured bedrooms, five en-suite bathrooms, and multiple outdoor terraces that face the Balearic Sea. The property functions as a base camp for exploring one of Ibiza’s most authentic beach villages, where working fishing boats still operate and the pace of life moves slower than the busier resort areas.

Inside Sa Rima

Sa Rima sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, distributed across the lower ground floor and ground floor levels. The layout prioritises accessibility and comfort for mixed-age groups.

The lower ground floor houses three king-bedded rooms, each with direct garden access and private shower en-suites. A fourth bedroom on this level features twin single beds—ideal for children or companions who prefer separate sleeping arrangements—with its own garden entrance and shower room. A dedicated media room with satellite television and terrace access provides entertainment space separate from the main living areas.

The ground floor contains the master suite, positioned to capture morning light from the southern terrace. This king-bedded bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom featuring both shower and soaking bath—a practical luxury for those seeking to decompress after Ibiza’s nightlife or coastal exploration. The floor opens onto a generous terrace overlooking the pool and gardens.

The heart of the ground floor is an open-plan living and dining configuration. The living area stretches across the space with abundant seating and direct terrace connectivity. The dining section accommodates ten people comfortably, accommodating family-style meals or group dinners. A modern kitchen anchors the space, equipped with a breakfast bar, substantial worktop area, and appliances that encourage guests to prepare meals rather than order in. A separate guest toilet serves ground-floor visitors.

Throughout the villa, air conditioning and central heating maintain comfortable temperatures regardless of season. Sonos sound system integration allows music to flow across indoor and outdoor spaces. Stable Wi-Fi connection supports remote work if required. Safe deposit box and alarm system provide security for valuables.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden extends across substantial grounds with varied zones for different activities. An L-shaped swimming pool dominates the central space—heated during cooler months, making shoulder-season visits viable. Sun loungers position themselves throughout the garden for afternoon lounging. A covered terrace provides shade-based relaxation, essential during July and August’s midday heat. The uncovered terrace space suits dining al fresco, with garden furniture arrangements supporting both intimate conversations and larger group gatherings.

A built-in barbecue transforms the terrace into an outdoor kitchen, allowing guests to grill fresh fish purchased from Cala Bassa’s morning catch or vegetables sourced from nearby markets. Private parking accommodates vehicles for exploring the wider island. The garden’s Mediterranean planting—olive trees, rosemary borders, native shrubs—creates natural privacy screening while maintaining views toward the sea.

Location: Cala Bassa and the Surrounding Area

Cala Bassa sits on Ibiza’s northwest coast, approximately 12km from San Antonio, the island’s second-largest resort town. The village maintains genuine character—local fishermen still work the waters, family-run restaurants line the seafront, and development remains controlled compared to areas like Playa d’en Bossa or Ibiza Town’s outskirts.

The beach itself—a protected cove with golden sand and clear water—lies within walking distance of Sa Rima. Neighbouring Cala Conta, 2km north, offers spectacular sunset views and increasingly sophisticated beach clubs. Explore our full collection in Spain to compare coastal properties across the region.

San Antonio Harbour, 12km south, functions as Ibiza’s working port and water-sports hub. Boat rental operators based here offer chartered yacht experiences, jet-ski hire, and speedboat tours to remote northern coves. Float Your Boat and similar providers run adults-oriented harbour cruises featuring swimming stops and DJ entertainment. The town itself contains supermarkets (Carrefour, Consum), fresh fish markets operating most mornings, and restaurants spanning casual tapas to fine dining—El Chiringuito serves paella overlooking the harbour; Can Alfredo offers traditional Ibizan cuisine.

Ibiza Town, the island’s capital, sits 25km southeast. UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila—the historic old town perched on a hilltop—contains Renaissance fortifications, narrow medieval streets, and museums documenting Ibiza’s layered history from Phoenician to present. The surrounding new town offers boutique shopping, art galleries, and internationally-recognised nightclubs (Pacha, Hï) that operate seasonally.

Sant Josep de sa Talaia, 8km southeast of Sa Rima, anchors the southwestern region. This working agricultural village hosts a Wednesday market selling local produce, cheese, and crafts. The surrounding countryside contains family-run wineries and small farms producing wines and spirits using traditional methods.

Ibiza Airport lies 35km south; transfer time by hired car is approximately 45 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. The drive follows the PM-800 highway, direct and straightforward. Car hire at the airport costs €30–60 daily for compact vehicles.

Best travel seasons depend on your priorities. May through June offers warm weather (25–28°C), calm seas, and fewer crowds—ideal for families. July and August peak at 30°C+ with maximum tourists but guaranteed sunshine and sea temperature around 24°C suitable for all swimmers. September maintains summer warmth with noticeably fewer visitors. October to April sees rainfall risk, cooler temperatures (15–18°C), and reduced restaurant/activity availability, though winter offers dramatic price reductions and authentic local atmosphere.

Seasonal highlights include the Ibiza Jazz Festival (May), Ibiza Rocks festival at Pikes Hotel (June–September), and Benicàssim International Festival just across on the Valencian mainland (August). Winter trade winds make December-February excellent for windsurfing at nearby Tarida Bay.
